>>In the thread "Vihgadto Levincho", R' SBA asked about "the  father ... and 
his son", while I responded regarding "the parent and  child"....


As far as I know, V'higadta Levincha applies equally to  the father and the 
mother, and in fact, it applies just as strongly to any Jew  above the age of 
bar/bas mitzvah, even if childless, and even if  unmarried.

....Even so, I am curious if perhaps someone, somewhere, might  have written 
an article on this topic. Perhaps there are relevant sources that  someone 
else has seen. Any ideas? Thanks!<<

On the words "veshinantem levanecha" Rashi says, "velo livnosecha" -- i.e.,  
there is no obligation of Torah learning for a daughter.  However on the  
words "vehigadta levincha" Rashi says nothing, so perhaps by implication he is  
saying that this does include daughters as well as sons.
 
There's also the well-known vort about the she'eino yodea lish'ol being the  
child who is too young to ask questions, where it says "At pesach lo" -- "you" 
 in loshon nekeva, suggesting that the mother is the one who should teach the 
 young child about Yetzias Mitzrayim.
